<VV> pilot bearing/bushing

[J R Read_HML]

I've seen those used when successive installations of bushings all squealed. 
The bearing was then used instead of the bushing.  Which is better?  Flip a 
coin.

 I found that the engine has a pilot bearing, and that my replacement is a 
bushing.... any advice concerning this?  Is the bearing much better then a 
bushing, particularly from a performance standpoint?

Thanks!
